Re: [SOLVED] Blue tint on youtube videos. (Nvidia or flash problem)

Adding OverrideGPUValidation=true has made the flashplugin stable enough to use. There are still random crashes now and then the first few times and typically when you press the big play button in the centre (Youtube's player works pretty flawlessly). Not sure why that is, but there you go.

This stuff might be worth a wiki entry; come to think of it especially since Adobe is not planning to ever fix this.

Re: [SOLVED] Blue tint on youtube videos. (Nvidia or flash problem)

Hi everyone, although I did applied the workaround, I told myself, why not give gnash a try? All I have to say is that it works really nice on youtube and off course uncluttered HD content. Farewell Adobe.

Re: [SOLVED] Blue tint on youtube videos. (Nvidia or flash problem)

I had the same blue tint problem. I fixed mine by simply editing /etc/adobe/mms.cfg and allowing hardware video decoding. I've never had problems with flash crashing before and I can confirm that I can go full screen and back without crashing. Thanks for the tips on how to fix it, it worked for me.

Re: [SOLVED] Blue tint on youtube videos. (Nvidia or flash problem)

I can confirm that adding EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 to mss.cfg and exporting VDPAU_NVIDIA_NO_OVERLAY=1 resolved both issues. People aren't blue and a running flash video does not remain visible across desktops. I did not need to add OverrideGPUValidation=true. I have had no stability problems.

Flash's hardware acceleration option checkedexport VDPAU_NVIDIA_NO_OVERLAY=1 added to my ~/.xinitrc (The only way I know to export Nvidia settings. Doing it via the terminal or profile seems to do nothing.)

Big thanks to Gusar, or should it be distain? For now we get to use the steaming pile of crap that is flashplayer . Shame HTML5 isn't there yet.

Edit: It's still not as stable, but that's asking too much from the poor folks over at Adobe.

Re: [SOLVED] Blue tint on youtube videos. (Nvidia or flash problem)

On youtube using html5 and webm it freezes sometimes... I have no idea why.EDIT: Funny thing downgrading to 11.1 doesnt help. Hardware decoding doesnt work. It lags in fullscreen and doesnt scale video as it scale on 11.2. I hate Flash.

I get the same thing, usually about half way through it starts to freeze, or it only the image will freeze repeatedly for 5 seconds at a time while the audio plays, then again html video issues are a whole other story, hope for improvement! I ended up just leaving the test after a few days.

I wish I had such a good experience with gnash cause I'd love to use it, cant expand, it takes about 5 seconds to show the play button then my CPU starts to **** itself for another 5 seconds before playing the video. Like I said in the thread about linux flash supporting dropping apart from chrome a few weeks ago, hopefully gnash will get some some more drive behind and become a really good alternative.

Re: [SOLVED] Blue tint on youtube videos. (Nvidia or flash problem)

Hey - I just want to clarify a few things. I am having this problem, and by disabling hardware acceleration and reloading the page I no longer see blue people (only youtube has this problem). I am running the nvidia propietary drivers.

Does anyone have this on other web sites and with other types of graphics? Someone claimed this happened with their radeon card on open source drivers.

I am also really interested to here if this happens with the nouveau driver for anyone.

Yeah did the same here.Works fine for YouTube.Many other video sites frequently crash, though.It's not a solution.

I agree with akspecs - this topic is falsely marked "solved". There are only bad workarounds, but there is no solution.

Re: [SOLVED] Blue tint on youtube videos. (Nvidia or flash problem)

I did have a couple of crashes but I haven't really been able to put it to a full test yet. I didn't add the VDPAU_NVIDIA_NO_OVERLAY=1 to my .xinitrc though. There was another nvidia update that came through last night so I'll see if that does anything.
